As Grian was entering the new school, he felt a chill run down his spine. He hoped it wasn't like his last school.
He entered his first class, and he was sure everyone was staring at him, thinking bad things about him. One of his friends at his old school, Sam, would always tell him everything wrong with him. He sat at an empty desk while a few more people came in.
"Hello class," said the teacher. He saw on his class schedule that his name was Mr. Xisumavoid, but Grian wasn't sure how it would be pronounced.
"It appears we have a new student. Would you like to introduce yourself?" He made eye contact with grian, which kinda weirded him out.
"Uh, ok. My name is Grian, and I was going to school in Japan, and now I'm going to school here." He paused and tried to think of what else to say. "I like birds."
"Thank you, Grian. Let's all be nice to our new student."
As Grian got used to his new school, he realized it wasn't anything like academi high school. The people were Kind, genuine, and never threatened him with a knife. He made friendships that would last a lifetime.
When he graduated, he wondered why he ever thought this place would be anything like his old school. It could have been the students, the teachers, the area, but something about this school brought genuine happiness into his life that he had never felt before. He was glad to graduate on a good note.
